The Nanode™ is a three-dimensional, nano-structured, porous electrode that will overcome the limitations of today’s batteries by storing as much as 50% more energy than existing technologies. This ...

The Solid State and Materials Research Group has come up with a lithium-ion capacitor using electrodes produced from wood ...

Researchers have combined paper and carbon nanotubes in an innovative battery design to produce a flexible device that can discharge energy faster than conventional batteries (Nano Lett. 2014, DOI: 10 ...

Organic materials represent an attractive alternative to transition metal oxide cathodes in conventional rechargeable batteries because of their light weight, structural flexibility and chemical ...

MIT researchers have discovered that when you mix cement and carbon black with water, the resulting concrete self-assembles into an energy-storing supercapacitor that can put out enough juice to power ...

Using textiles and fabrics for harvesting power, storing energy, and bio-sensing makes sense—after all, everyone wears a shirt. A team at the University of Massachusetts has developed a way to combine ...

Scientists have come up with a lithium ion capacitor using electrodes produced from wood particles that are discarded as waste in sawmills. This biomass is both readily available and sustainable, ...
